that this will work their disfranchisement
then they will be deserving of the penalty,
since no man should enjoy the privilege of
an American sovereign who is unwilling
to subscribe allegiance to the laws of the
land, whenever the proper legislative au-
thority deems such form needful for the
public welfare, as voting and election
regulation. Finally, the Mormon militia
is to be mustered out, and general militia
laws to be passed, subject to approval by
Congress.
These are the chief features of the Act.
They cut to the core, and speak with an
emphasis, not to be mistaken, the decree
of the people of the United States con-
corning the twin evil to slavery-which
must now follow its mate to the grave
The Act once approved, the question of
its enforcement alone remains. As the
President is to appoint the Territorial and
Probate Judges, and the Supreme Court is
to appoint the Supervisor of the schools;
as the Attorney-G General of the United
States is given specific direction to enforce
the law; as the representative system is
to be the result of votes cast by those
sworn to abide by the laws, and as women
are to be accorded their property rights,
and illegitimacy is to be branded, We may
look forward to the enforcement of the
law. All pure interests will now conspire
to this end, opposed only by the priests,
the polygamists, and such few women as
are too much blinded and enslaved by
bigotry to see and accept the freedom the
law offers to them.

The Effect of Its Passage upon the Pc
litical Future of the Country.
New York Railway and Corporation Law Jour
nal January Sth.l
The effect of the passage of the Reagan
Cullom bill for the regulation of interstate
commerce on the political future of the
country, seems to be entirely ignored in the
consideration of that question by the rail-
ways and the press. 1t is in the political
results, however, that the most dangerous,
permanent and far-reaching effects of the
bill become apparent. For one hundred
years there has been perpetual encroach-
ment of the National Government on the
powers and prerogatives of the States. The
result has been an inordlnate increase in
the powers of the former, and proportion
ate decrease in the powers and importance
of the latter. The checks and balances of
Government, constructed carefully and
laboriously one hundred years ago. have
been swept away, and the State Govern
ments are sinking to the insignificance of
municipalities. The passage of the inter
state commerce bill is another long aud
radical step in the same direction. The
railroad systems will no longer look to or
care for the State Governments. Their
money, their Hobbies and their interests
will be in Washington. Their dangerous
power, which is divided now among thirty
eight States, will be concentrated on the
National Government.
All this means the further decline in i'm
| portance of the State Govern ments. II
means more than this. The Railway De-
partment of the Federal Government will
grow with the growth of a parasite. 1t will
become Department, and claim repre-
sentative in the Cabinet. In it will be con-
eentrated the irresponsible power which
the Government will have over the rail-
ways of America business interest in
] volving unlimited wealth, and subject to

LAWS OF VENGEANCE.

An Eastern exchange says that bill are
pending before both the Illinois and
Indiana Legislatures, providing that in a
case Of deliberate murder, when the muir
derer is the father, brother or husband of
woman who has been betrayed, and the
slain man is proved to have been her be-
trayer, the offense is to be considered only
as misdemeanor, punishable only by a fine
We are ready to believe that this is an ex-
aggerated statement Of the true character
of the measures 1t is very difficult to be-
lieve that legislators anywhere would go
so far as to place the execution of the law
in the hands of men in this manner. 1t
will be said that he who acted under such
law would do so with the full knowledge
of the risk assumed; that he must be GER
tain the case is one within the law. But
suppose such billto become law, and a
citizen to take the life of another under
the belief that the victim of his selection
was guilty, and it should appear on trial
that he was in error in forming the judy
ment he carried to execution. There
would be no conviction for murder in such
a case, for the reason that the defendant
would escape under the plea that he be-
lieved he was justified, and that the alleged
facts brought to his knowledge, though I'M
founded, were sufficient to warrant his be-
lief and the action which the law itself
invited. Juries will not convict the men
who avenge the honor of wives, daughters,
and sisters, but the State cannot afford to
set up an avenging code 1t may be, as is
said in defense of the proposed new laws,
that they but give voice to the sentiment
that rules mankind but that is not suf-
ficient reason for putting upon the statute
book the law of vengeance, or for Govern
ments to delegate to individuals the right
ing Of wrongs against them and society.
If the law makers of the Prairie State are
so sohcitous to throw new safeguards about
womanly virtue, they can find more reason
for visiting death upon the seducer, after
trial and conviction according to judicial
methods. Let the law recognize the crime,
but let it not make every man the Judge of
its commission, nor place at the mercy of
any woman the life of any man, until he
can be legally heard in his own defense.
Any other rule looks back to savagery

PUT YOURSELF IN HER PLACE.
What Would Happen If Men were to
Care for fhe Children


Care for the Children.
There exists in every household short
and easy method of testing the compare
tive nervousness of the sexes. Take the
very sweetest and most domestic of men,
the most loving and equable, and
see if he can have patience with the
children, day in and day out, as can a
wife much less gifted by nature with these
fine qualities. The children may be the
sweetest ever born, and yet each will be
pretty sure to pass through stages in its
development when its ross-questionings,
its needless resistipgs. its chronic deaf
nesses, its endless a What? and Why ?"
and Whom did you say?" will furnish
grounds of practice for saintship. Not
that all mothers are equal to this task-far
from it; but when it comes to nerve, the
average mother takes all this trial and
pressure in way that puts the average
father to shame. l knew shrewd wo-
man who, whenever her husband had
given her lecture on nervousness, used TO
contrive to have him dress one or two of
the children for school on a winters
morning after a breakfast slightly be-
lated. The good man would fall meekly
into the trap, not clearly remembering
the vastness of the labor-the adjustings
and the tyings and the buttonings; the
leggings and the overdraws and the Arctic
shoes; the jacket, scarf, coat, gloves. nit
tens, wristers the hat or cap or hood, to
be pulled and brushed and tied in proper
position; the complete way in which all
these things, besides being put on, have to
be mutually made fast by strings and but
tons and safety pins SO that the child thus
dressed is model of compressed packing.
and could, like well-packed barrel of
china, be sent around the world without
injury.
Calm must be the spirit, high the pur
pose, of the father who reaches the end of
this complex task without word of impa-
thence, while the wife whom he calls
nervous has long since taken off his hands
the other child assigned to him, and has
long since, with def hands, dressed her
and given one patient, final, all-compre-
bending witch, and the whole thing is
done. If you doubt whether men are, on
the whole, and in their own way. as
nervous as women, test them with getting
the children ready for school, and remem-
Der that their mother does it twice day at
least every day other life.-HarDers' Bazaar.

Drinking n Farm,

my homeless friend with the chroma
tic nose, while you are stirringup the sugar
in that ten-eent glass of gin, let me give
you fact to wash down with it. You say
you have longed for years for the free, in
dependent life of the farmer. but have
never been able to get enough money to
gether to buy farm. But this is JUS
where you are mistaken. For several years
you have been drinking good improved
farm at the rate of 100 square feet gulp
If you doubt this statement figure it fol
yourself. An acre Of land contains 43, Sc
square feet Estimating, for convenience
the land at Si9 So per acre. you will see
that this brings the lands to Just one mill
per square foot, on cent for ten square feet
Now pour down that fiery dose, and just
imagine you are swallowing a strawberry
patch Call in five of your friends and
have them help you gulp down that 500.
foot garden. Get on q prolonged spree
some day, and see how long time it re-
quires to swallow pasture large enough tc
feed cow Put down that glass of gin :
there is dirt in it-l00 square feet of good
rich dirt, worth S43 Sc per acre"
But there are plenty of farms which dc
not cost more thaa a tenth part Of S43 Of
per acre What an enormous acreage has
gone down many a homeless drinkers
throat. No wonder such men are buried
in the ''potter's field - they have swal-
lowed farms, and gardens, and homes, and
even drank up their own graveyard II.
